Rodrigo, I see there's also my SOAR code in Mundo's sources. Is it used for anything there?

I did not notice that you is the author of the SOAR code too. Appears to be that you own a great slice of the Mundo source

We made tests with SOAR, but we aren't using it yet. Maybe we use it later, when we start to enlarge the map.

Galfar, I got two reports of people having difficulties to compile Imaging under Windows 7 64-bit and Freepascal.
They send me the following error messages:

"-Imaging\ImagingJpeg.pas(190,53) Error: Argument can't be assigned to -Imaging\ImagingJpeg.pas(356,45) Error: Argument can't be assigned to -Imaging\ImagingJpeg.pas(407,47) Error: Argument can't be assigned to"

There are some tip to compile in this environment?

Which version of Free Pascal?
And which version of Imaging?
(line numbers in error message don't match the most recent version of ImagingJpeg.pas I have)

The reported errors came from the following box:

* Windows 7 64-bit
* Lazarus 0.9.28 beta
* Imaging ImagingJpeg.pas,v 1.9 2006/02/23

Well that's nearly 4 years old version of Imaging, no 64-bit compatibility was in back then.
It's the lines like this one:

Code:

Inc(LongWord(Dest), PtrInc * LinesRead);

that cause problems - assumes sizeof(pointer) = 32.

You can fix those lines or just upgrade to newer Imaging version.

Well, I think upgrading is better

Thanks Galfar.

I put the free rotating to good use in my car sprite editor, automatic generation of detachable parts rocks

just wondering, is there any distort functionality in imaging lib?

such as: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/distorts/#shepards ?

Currently there are no distortion functions in Imaging. Something simpler like affine matrix transforms could be added but probably nothing fancy as Shepard (not much time for working on Imaging recently).
